However, The Naturalization Act of 1790 was repealed and replaced with the Naturalization act of 1795.

You'll notice in the excerpt of the Act of 1795, Section 3, that children born overseas are not called 'natural born citizens' overseas anymore but are only called " as citizens."

"SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, that the children of persons duly naturalized, dwelling within the United States, and being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of such naturalization, and the children of citizens of the United States born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, shall be considered as citizens of the United States. Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend on persons whose fathers have never been resident of the United States. No person heretofore proscribed by any state, or who has been legally convicted of having joined the army of Great Britain during the late war, shall be admitted as foresaid, without the consent of the legislature of the state in which such person was proscribed. "

I seriously doubt the congress intended to make the children of US diplomats stationed overseas ineligible to run for President. If that were the case, there would have been quite a bit of difficulty in getting people to fill those jobs. According to both the 1790 and 1795 acts, the children are born as citizens of the United States not of foreign countries and not naturalized citizens.

All of you are reading the wrong constitution. It goes like this:

However, The Naturalization Act of 1790 was repealed and replaced with the Media Election Act of Nov 3, 2008.

You’ll notice in the excerpt of the Act of 2008, Section 3, that Kenyan children born overseas are not called “Kenyans” overseas anymore but are only called “future presidents of the United States.”

“SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, that the children of persons duly naturalized, dwelling within Kenya, and being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of such naturalization, and the children of citizens of Kenya born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, shall be considered as citizens of the United States. Provided, that the right of citizenship shall descend on persons whose fathers are horny passers-by looking for sex in Hawaii. Any person heretofore proscribed by Illinois, or who has been legally convicted of having joined the army of Saul Alinsky during the Vietnam War, shall be admitted as foresaid, without the consent of the CNN, NBC, MSNBC, The New York Times, CBS and the LA TIMES . “

See? All better.
